Personality: Being brought up in the Orre Region was tough and it had turned Madison from a frightened child into a determined individual that has a daredevil streak within him thanks to the powerful memory of the fearless trainer that rescued him as a child. The ruthless nature of team Cipher and the harsh life with Orre Region for those that don't have Poke'mon against those that do had made him pragmatic in nature against Poke'mon bandits such as Cipher and Snagem. They don't play by rules and neither does Madison when that happens and considers it merely karma. In regards to his Poke'mon he truly loves them and considers him his utmost friends despite how hard he pushes them from time to time when training.
Home Town: Orre - Phenac City (Poke'mon Colosseum Series)
Starter Pokemon: Eevee
Background: Originally from the Orre Reigon, Madison was a good kid in a bad part of the world growing up with the likes of Team Cipher and Team Snagem running about when he was younger. It wasn't easy to keep your head low when without poke'mon. They were very much required for one to defend one self with from the likes of them for they had no qualms about attacking others without poke'mon. Unfortunately wild poke'mon were rare in the arid regions of Orre. That frustration and isolation had to come out in some fashion so eventually he began to try and catch a poke'mon of his own. Needless to say it was an exercise in futility when one has no poke'mon to catch with.
Unfortunately that was when he ran into Team Cipher whom were doing a poke'mon raid on the city. Using the kid as a hostage they tried to extort a ransom in poke'mon from the poke'mon center in Phenac City and it's "Pre Gym". This was also his one and only encounter with another trainer. He had amber eyes and short shock white hair. The most notable thing however was a gauntlet-like device upon his right arm. He had no fear whatsoever of them and systematically took out the grunts and peons and rescued the still young Madison. The young kid had been pretty scared and still was of the trainer whom knelt down and rubbed his chin contemplating something.
The trainer had heard why he was outside the city. He asked Madison if he could make a promise. He asked him to take care of an egg for him. When Madison asked why all he did was smile at him however briefly as the answer was for Madison to figure out and then would take home back to Phenac City. Growing up Madison made the promise to take care of the poke'mon egg which the trainer then donated. At least now he could say he found a poke'mon. Eventually the egg hatched one day during schooling and out popped Eevee. He raised it and played with his newfound friend and cared for it devoutly.
But like all children the bullying simply took on a different form. Bullies that wanted an Eevee or hated the idea that Madison had a poke'mon. This time the bullying came in the form of poke'mon battles from older students with slightly more experienced poke'mon. After that day his poor Eevee needed some good rest at the poke'mon center. He honestly wondered if he should be capable of raising a poke'mon but mentally he remembered the promise he made to the trainer. Mentally he made the choice that he would be done with that. So he made the choice to have that same strength and to make sure Eevee would have a trainer and not "just a kid".
Thus he trained alongside his Eevee as soon as he was well saying that they needed to be stronger for the rematch. He ran with Eevee and played games that were meant to help Eevee become better during battle by using dodge balls for the young poke'mon to hit. They would keep trying and keep working until the two of them felt ready. This time the poke'mon battle ended in his favor with the little Eevee Madison had showing that it was a lot more tougher and consequently that it's trainer was as well. From there they would continue battling because now Madison felt he was following in his hero's footsteps. However the reality was that if he wanted to continue this path he would have to leave Orre behind. As such he scrimped and save his money so that he could eventually take the S.S Libra to Hoenn Region where his true goal lied in wait to become a legitimate Poke'mon trainer.
Other Notes: Eevee is currently a level five Poke'mon as is standard for a starter although backstory wise she started at level one and worked her way up. Eevee was born from a union between an Umbreon and an Espeon. The SS Libra is the ship that is from Orre Region and will drop Madison off in Petalburg City.
